Walking around the lake at the start of the summer, I told Jodi that I planned to have a summer fling. "You know, just something casual. Fun. No strings." Minutes later we bumped into destiny as a smart, kind, and rather handsome fella from our college alma mater ran by. "There's your fling," she stated.
She was right. How does she do that?
Now, with fall just around the corner, my summer fling has ended, just as all true-to-definition summer flings must. And it served just the purpose in my life that I thought it should.
Yet, while it's being over was rather expected and means, as well, that I can break the blog silence, I can't help but feel it's just one more thing marking the end of a different me. The one who took more risks and lost a little control. The one who took more time to enjoy herself and the people around her. The one who took life less seriously and the one of whom I had grown quite fond.

Your fling happened because you DECIDED that it would. You didn't just pay lip service to an idea of what you wanted - you decided to want it and it happened. Now, you get to make another decision about what you want. Past experience shows making this decision brings it to fruition - can't wait to see what you decide.
The new you just bought a house, so, like, that's some damn good risk taking!!!
and thank heavens for breaking the silence.
Hello all, I had the privledge of seeing jdoc recently and she looks mighty fiiiiinnnee! Here is a visual: I do not see these spots she speaks of and someone at a party last night commented that she looks like Holly Hunter! She is also very tan, which shows off her green eyes so nicely. And the woman's biceps are to be envied!
I agree with jm. It's about making decisions and being aggressive. There are some lucky men out there that you are going to set your sights on. Or just one lucky man ... depending on what you decide.
I have rather liked the new you that has emerged through all of this as well, jdoc. Some wise person once told me, "Regret is worse that rejection." You took your own advice and now you have to live it.... decide wisely as you have the power to make things happen!
